Robin Jackson - Royal Hotel lyrics

Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel I held you there, as the stars, they fell And the night wrapped its arms ‘round this fleeting affair As if it tried to keep us there The streetlamp covered us in dirty gold Your lips were hot against the cold And your hair a black raven Into my hands it fell Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel Oh marry me tonight And the moon will be our ring And cover you in white And soot drawn from the rain And though you say you wish to be The night next to my day Still you fly away, why don't you stay Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel I held you there while the stars they fell And maybe we got lucky Like two pennies in a well Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel Oh we danced a broken tango By the wall And the barkeeps pouring tears And there's ghosts up in the hall And the piano in the montage Knew it all along Cause sometimes love Just doesn't last that long In room 19 a man's about to cheat In room 05 her vows Are on the sheets And outside on the sidewalk you've left a lasting spell Under the bridge by the Royal Hotel
